Two days after making the comment, Samuel Kim shared a backstage photo of himself on Instagram and wrote, “Thank you for today’s ‘M!Countdown’ stage! I heard from my manager after [the radio show] that Wanna One members do not have mobile phones at the moment to focus on preparing for their album.”

The singer went on to explain how he was able to get in touch with other Wanna One member Lai Guan Lin. He said, “When Lai Guan Lin and I got in contact, he had reached me with the help of an agency staff member.”

He then wrote a cute apology to Kang Daniel, writing, “Daniel, it was my misunderstanding. Keep it up, Wanna One! See you all next week.”
